Since its founding in 2015, New York boutique Walden Macht & Haran has distinguished itself as a small, nimble firm whose respective partners boast “Big Law” as well as in-house counsel credentials. The firm has won the praise and respect of other in-house counsel as well as peers, who are often with much larger and historically entrenched firms. One client offers an especially glowing accolade, cheering the partners’ “excellent knowledge of the law and excellent written and oral skills” and noting: “They aggressively fight for me but are compassionate and organized, they communicate, and they listen. They seem to have boundless energy and pride in their ability to represent me. I am so pleased and impressed that I am trying to think of how they could improve but I just feel my experience over the years has been perfect.”
The Walden Macht & Haran team is most widely recognized for its ability in the white-collar defense space, with an additional niche in the media industry.

Jim Walden, along with Georgia Winston, represented WarnerMedia Direct, who filed suit against Paramount Global, MTV Entertainment Studios, and South Park Digital Studios for breach of a licensing contract, as well as other business torts. Under the contract, HBO Max had exclusive streaming rights to air episodes of
South Park, including three seasons of new episodes, on its streaming platform. WarnerMedia alleges, among other claims, that Paramount tortiously interfered with WarnerMedia’s contract for exclusive rights to
South Park episodes in order to steer the program content to its own new Paramount+ platform to fuel growth.
Adam Cohen receives an effusive and comprehensive rave review from a client. “Adam is extremely focused and intelligent. He has an excellent knowledge of the law and is an excellent communicator. He listens to my concerns and addresses them. He never takes shortcuts; he challenges himself to do the best for me and is constantly thinking of how to approach a situation to best advantage for me. He is compassionate and patient, motivated and has excellent writing skills. He is also very personable and adaptable. He is flexible to changing situations. It's extremely comforting to know that I am represented by someone with Adam's attributes. I can't imagine not having him on my side.”
